If you look at the chart on use you'll see that use for anything other than electricity generation vanished a while ago - in part because there are better alternatives: diesel for trains, natural gas (which the UK has lots of) for domestic heating - with laws to improve air quality prompting this too.
Plus I suspect deepmine coal that the UK has used in the past will be pretty expensive to extract relative to the alternatives.
